    the “amenities” eliminated are parking minimums, and you’re assuming that the parking minimums aren’t causing oversupply of unused parking lots. check out the very third photo in the article (the overhead view of a parking lot), its first example of a housing development benefiting from the change. notice how less than half of the spots and thus less than a quarter of the land was being used

    plus, for housing, the parking minimum’s only eliminated for affordable housing, senior housing, childcare, and homes <1,200 ft2. family housing still requires 1 parking spot per home

    These people will still own cars

    not necessarily

      That’s like “saving time” by not installing electricity or smoke alarms. What a boondoggle; especially in car-dependent America!
